Live Events & Broadcast Production

A live broadcast has
no second take.

Mobile production units, support trucks, generators, staging and rigging. Your fleet doesn't support the show. Your fleet is the show. When a unit isn't ready at load-in, there's no reschedule: air time happens with you or without you. Torgix keeps every unit show-ready and tells you what each one truly costs per production day.

Sound familiar?

The problems every live production operator knows.

Networks book you because you show up ready. These are the gaps that put that reputation at risk.

"The generator hiccuped at load-in. We were troubleshooting three hours before air."

Generator hours run completely independent of road miles, and they're the meter nobody tracks. The service that would have prevented it was due weeks ago, in a log nobody keeps.

"The tractor gets maintained. The trailer is where the show lives, and it's on nobody's schedule."

Expando hydraulics, HVAC keeping racks of electronics alive, leveling systems. Purpose-built equipment with its own failure modes, tracked in nobody's system.

"I know what we billed for the show. I have no idea what the truck cost us."

Fuel, transport, repairs, generator hours, crew time on maintenance. It's spread across fuel cards, invoices, and memory. Margin per production is a feeling, not a number.

"Maintenance windows only exist between bookings, and the calendar keeps filling."

A busy season is great for revenue and brutal on equipment. PM gets deferred show after show, until the deferral catches up with you on a live day.

"Our units sit idle between events and I can't see what that's costing."

Insurance, financing, depreciation, and yard space accrue whether a unit is on a show or parked. Utilization per unit is the number that decides your next truck, and it's a guess.

"One failure on a live show and the network remembers it longer than a hundred clean ones."

In live production, reliability is the product. There's no make-good for a missed broadcast, only a client quietly getting quotes from someone else.

We get it

Your fleet isn't behind the show. It's under it.

A mobile production unit is a broadcast facility on wheels: a tractor with DOT obligations, a trailer full of hydraulics and HVAC, a generator with its own hour meter, and racks of high-value gear inside. Add support trucks, staging, rigging and lighting, and you're running some of the most specialized equipment in any industry, on a schedule with zero tolerance for a down day. Torgix was built for operations where uptime isn't optional, and it prices every unit by the show and by the day so you know exactly which ones earn their keep.

How it works

Four steps. Total equipment intelligence.

Connect your fleet and the loop runs itself. Every event captured, costed, questioned, and acted on.

01. Capture

Every event lands on the right unit.

Inspections, fault codes, fuel logs, generator hours, work orders, parts, road miles: all automatically attributed to the correct tractor, trailer, or support truck. Nothing falls through.

02. Cost

Every event becomes a real dollar.

Repair labor, parts spend, fuel burn, transport, idle days between bookings, warranty money saved or missed. Your true cost per unit stops hiding in separate systems you never reconcile.

03. Ask

Query your fleet in plain English.

"What did our A unit cost per production day last quarter?" The AI runs the analysis and surfaces the answer. No dashboards to build.

04. Act

Turn the answer into the next move.

Order the part. File the warranty claim. Schedule the service into the gap between bookings. One click, fully tracked, so every action makes the next answer smarter.

How Torgix fixes it

Show-ready equipment intelligence for live production.

Every meter tracked. Every unit visible. Every production's true margin known, so the fleet that carries the show stops being a black box.

Show-ready PM scheduling

Set preventive maintenance by road miles, generator hours, or calendar date, whichever comes first, on tractors and trailers alike. Alerts fire before the threshold, and service slots into the gaps between bookings instead of colliding with a show day.

Dual meters: road miles and generator hours

True cost per production day

Group costs by unit and by show the way a contractor groups them by job site. Fuel, transport, repairs, generator hours, crew maintenance time, against what the production billed. Know which units and which clients actually carry your margin.

Cost per unit, per show, exportable

Utilization between bookings

See booked days, idle days, and what idle actually costs per unit once insurance, financing, and depreciation are counted. The numbers that tell you when the fleet is ready for its next truck, and which unit should go first.

Idle-day cost, visible per unit

Specialized parts and warranty tracking

Generators, HVAC, expando hydraulics, leveling systems: sourced through a 1.4M+ parts catalog directly from the work order. Warranties tracked by both calendar and hours, with alerts before coverage lapses on high-value components.

Right part before the next load-in
AI in action

Ask it before load-in. Not during the show.

Torgix AI gives you answers about your specific fleet. Before the live day, not after.

TM
Unit 2 is booked three weekends straight starting Friday. Anything I should worry about?
AI
3 items flagged on Unit 2 before Friday:

. Generator. Service due in 14 hours of runtime. A typical show weekend on this unit runs 30+. I'd service it before Friday, not after.
. Trailer HVAC. Two condition reports in the last month noted weak cooling in the B rack row. August heat plus three weekend shows is the worst time to find out why.
. Tractor. DOT annual inspection expires mid-run, on the second Saturday. It can't be done from the venue lot.

There's a three-day gap Tuesday to Thursday this week. Want me to build work orders for all three and slot them in?
TM
Yes. And line up the generator service parts so they're here Monday.
AI
Work orders created and scheduled Tuesday through Thursday.

Generator service, matched to Unit 2's generator model:
. Oil and filter kit. In stock via Discount Equipment, arrives Monday
. Fuel and air filters. Same order, same delivery

Added to the work order and attributed to Unit 2, so this weekend's shows carry their true cost. Anything else before Friday?

The cost of doing nothing

What changes when show-readiness is actually managed.

The difference between reactive and proactive fleet management compounds every booking season.

Without Torgix
  • Generator hours and trailer systems tracked in nobody's system; service happens when something fails
  • Problems surface at load-in, hours before air, with no margin to fix them
  • PM deferred show after show through the busy season, until it catches up on a live day
  • Revenue per production is known. Equipment cost per production is a guess.
  • Idle days between bookings accrue insurance, financing, and depreciation invisibly
  • One live-day failure quietly costs a client relationship built over years
With Torgix
  • Automated PM alerts by road miles, generator hours, or calendar. Tractors and trailers alike
  • Every unit's status and open issues visible before it leaves the yard
  • Service slotted into gaps between bookings, not colliding with show days
  • True cost per unit and per production day. Margin clarity on every contract
  • Utilization and idle cost visible per unit, informing the next fleet decision
  • Show-readiness becomes a managed metric, not a hope

Every unit show-ready. Every show costed.
